November 17th

It was a very productive morning of working on my Revit. I kind of had a high from the night before because I had worked so long and hard on the cabinet that it was great to be able to start it again in the morning. I started with sweeping and mopping, I realized I hadn't mopped in a month and so the water was a little dingy to say the least. After mopping I started Revit and spent most of the morning bouncing between that and my Italian homework that was due later in the day.

I went to Italian class and it was fun because we played a game with a few classmates and also went over our written homework. The written homework was a love story that was 10 sentences long, I wrote mine about Massimo and Laura.

I came home to work on more homework and to wait for Courtney to get back from class to head to dinner. We were going to go to the school's culinary student's restaurant but it was closed for the evening and decided to instead go to a Spanish restaurant that we had seen on the way. I got "the Gringa" which was essentially a quesadilla with shredded pork, pineapple, and spicy cheese. It was probably the most delicious and greasy thing I have had in a long time. Their guac was heaven-sent and it was just beyond delicious. On the way home, we got some gelato for desert and I don't remember the flavors, but it was of course delicious. We went to our favorite place that is just down the block from our apartment.

We came home and did a lot of homework before we both realized that we wanted to go out for the evening. We blasted our music, got ready, and went out. We had intended to repeat last Thursday's bar hoping but the first bar was so much fun that we didn't want to leave. We went to a place called Slowly, and it was just a lot of fun.

About Me

This is a blog that I will keep while I am abroad in Italy! Its purpose will be filling you in on my happenings, but mostly, to keep a record of what I have done while I am here. Diaries are lame. Blogs are obviously much more sophisticated. So follow me through my adventures, mood swings, and humor while I am in Florence. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I am!
